As an integral part of the charism of the Order of Preachers and of Catholic Social Teaching, the Salamanca Process calls for a synergy between the Dominican intellectual and apostolic life by directing study, research, analysis and action towards addressing the challenges that the world faces. This was articulated during the International Congress on “Dominicans in the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights: Past, Present and Future” held in Salamanca, Spain from 1-5 September 2016, to which the University of Santo Tomas (UST), Manila, is party. The Congress formed part of the celebration of the 800th Jubilee Year of the Dominican Order as entrusted by the Church with the mission to go forth and preach the Gospel. In response to the declarations pronounced in the final document of the Congress, the UST Institute of Religion draws inspiration from the Salamanca Process to conceive its signature pedagogy in the form of this educative framework named “DoT-ED: Dominican-Thomistic Education by Design”.
